Default Car Wont Start and I'm 1 day from Fall Colors!!!!

Here's the deal.....
I turn the key, I have power ( the top comes on, the radio workts), but I press the start button and nothing happens. I was able to push start the car and it ran without any problems. The only thing I have done recently is re-connect the vacum hoses for the CAI, but they are correct. There is no CEL, no warning lights.....HELP! I've got to get this fixed before Fall Colors.

BTW, when I got home, I shut the car off completely. I was able to start it without a problem. I didn't want to push my luck so I didn't do it again, any suggestions?

A heads up:
Were you sitting with your feet out of the car when you tried to start it and it wouldn't? It's easy to forget you need to have the clutch in.

Does the S2000 have a no start feature if it detects low oil? Some cars do and that might be it.

Nope....
and I have not installed any new electronics. I have PIA driving lights that have been connected for some time now without a problem. Its acting like a car with a bad alternator.

Oh good!!! More help!

...Sorry man! You *KNOW* this is gonna be some simple fix. A connection got popped loose. A fuse blew. But I KNOW this is killing you. And I will pay dearly for this humor at your expense. Oh yes, I suspect I'll pay quite dearly!
